Yang Ling, a modern migrant worker, unexpectedly enters the fantasy-filled Dafeng Dynasty, and transforms into a supervisory official, Xu Qian, a watchman who solves crimes for the people of Dafeng.Relying on what he has learned in modern times and using scientific knowledge and reasoning expertise, he successfully solved a series of bizarre cases and was known as the master of solving cases in Dafeng.And in this world of Dafeng, where there are demons, magic, treacherous people's hearts, and surging undercurrents, he and his like-minded partners chose to face the difficulties and dared to sacrifice themselves to jointly fight against the dark forces of the court and speak out for the people and justice., work together to protect the stability of Dafeng.
During the company's team building event, Xu Qian was late due to client matters.I originally thought it was just a simple dinner, but I didn't expect that the big boss suddenly announced that he would be appointed as the North District Manager to assist Mr. Zhu.Although the boss used the word "assistant", Mr. Zhu, the deputy position, had been coveting the full-time position for many years, and he never thought that he would be overtaken by a newcomer.
Manager Zhu was dissatisfied and publicly mocked Xu Qi'an for his junior qualifications and his ability to only please his boss.The colleagues present all looked sideways, but Xu Qian said nothing and silently picked up a bottle of beer.Everyone thought he was going to have an attack, but unexpectedly he respectfully toasted to Manager Zhu and apologized.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Chu Caiwei proposed to play script killing together after dinner.Everyone responded positively, and after two rounds of wine, Manager Zhu fell drunk to the ground.Xu Qian led everyone to play script killing, and he got the role of “beater”.The content of the script was full of twists and turns, which made him doubtful.Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he actually found himself in prison.
Facing the jailer's questioning, Xu Qian was confused.He tried hard to recall the contents of the script, when Xu Jia Erlang Xu New Year came to see him.It turned out that because Xu's father lost tax money, the whole family suffered, and Xu Qian was imprisoned.Xu Qi'an begged Xu Xinnian to help him get the case files in order to find a glimmer of hope.
Xu New Year lived up to his expectations and got the dossier.After careful study, Xu Qi'an concluded that a monster was at work in this case.But after careful analysis, he found that it was actually a man-made disaster.The explosion that occurred on the water surface when the tax silver disappeared was the key clue.He concluded that the tax silver had been swapped and replaced with metallic sodium similar to silver.
With the help of Chu Caiwei, they successfully tempered sodium metal and verified Xu Qi'an's conjecture.After officials learned the truth, they immediately reported it to the emperor, and Xu Pingzhi and his family were released.After Xu Pingzhi was released from prison, he learned that his nephew Xu Qian had saved him. He burst into tears and decided to let Xu Qian eat at the same table with his family.
Xu Pingzhi brought his family home. When he opened the door, he was shocked to see his son Xu Xinnian about to hang himself from a beam. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him.Xu Xinnian worked in an academy after getting the honors. He had a pedantic personality and was demoted to a lowly position. He couldn't bear to think about it and even wanted to commit suicide.Fortunately, the family discovered it in time and averted a tragedy.
At dinner, the family sat around the table and listened to Xu Qian's talk about how to find out the truth of the case.When he heard that Xu Qi'an had refined sodium metal, Xu Pingzhi was not surprised at all, and even laughed and said that he almost thought of it.
Xu Qian spent a few leisurely days at home, gradually accepting the fact that he might not be able to travel back in time.He began to get to know everyone in the family. His father Xu Pingzhi was upright, his aunt was shrewd and calculating, and one of his two sisters was innocent, diligent and lively, while the other was a foodie.
Due to his meritorious service in finding out the truth, Xu Qian was appointed as a small detective.At first he had no intention of doing so and just wanted to make money, but conditions were limited and his sister-in-law disliked him, so he had to put on the clothes of a police officer and go to the Yamen to report.
As soon as he arrived at the Yamen, Xu Qian took over a difficult case.Wang Futou was overwhelmed by his superiors. On one side, he had a tight deadline for closing the case, and on the other side, he had no clue about the case.He had no hope for Xu Qian, the new scholar. He just stated the case and handed in the file as usual.
However, Xu Qian sniffed out clues from the case.It turned out that local wealthy businessman Zhang Yourui married a concubine who was 20 years younger than him, but died mysteriously overnight.There were no traces of trampling or abnormal footprints at the scene. The deceased suffered severe head trauma with a blunt instrument, and the fatal injury was on the back of the head. The location was actually in the concubine's courtyard.The concubine claimed that she saw someone escaping over the wall, but there were no traces on the wall.
Xu Qian concluded that the case may be related to the affair between Zhang Yourui's son Zhang Xian and his concubine.Under Zhang Qi'an's questioning, the concubine finally revealed the truth.In the end, the concubine was imprisoned and Zhang Xian was released.Chu Caiwei had doubts about this, but Wang Futou told her not to mind her own business because he saw the litigator delivering the closing documents to Haoqi Tower.
Xu Qian secretly muttered, who is the Haoqi Tower?It happened that there, he encountered a group of people trying to rob the prison.Xu Qian tried his best to stop him, but the opponent was so powerful that he successfully robbed the prison and wanted to counterattack.Xu Qian screamed inwardly that she might not be able to escape today.At this critical moment, Song Tingfeng and Li Yuchun were like divine soldiers descending from heaven. They not only rescued Xu Qian, but also recaptured the criminals who wanted to escape and brought them to justice.Xu Qian and his colleagues escorted the criminals and returned to the mansion in high spirits, feeling very happy. For the first time in his life, he felt that the profession of watchman was quite handsome.
In Dafeng, the watchman is not just a sinecure who is on duty at night and reports the time, but an important position responsible for inspecting officials, punishing evil and promoting good, and protecting the people.After hearing this, Xu Qi'an was yearning for it and decided to show off his talents in Dafeng, give full play to his strengths and find his own value.However, his uncle sighed and reminded him not to think too brightly about the future. He was once full of passion, but in the end he was plotted against.
Xu Qi'an showed his talents for the first time, and he was impressed by him.Later, when he walked into the Yamen again, Futou respectfully invited him to the archives room, locked the door, and offered him a nice and quiet office environment.In fact, he closed the doors and windows tightly to protect him from outside interference.
After several days of confinement in the Yamen, Xu Qian was finally able to return home.Just after dinner, Fu Tou came with a team of watchmen and brought boxes of unsolved case files that had been stored for many years.The euphemistic reason is that in order to reduce Xu Qian's trouble of traveling to and from the Yamen, the leader now allows him to handle cases at home.Xu Pingzhi saw that there must be hidden worries, but since the leader had a fate, he could only let his nephew handle the case at home.Xu Qian noticed that his uncle and Fu Tou exchanged sign language and smiled at each other, knowing in his heart that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Xu Pingzhi not only failed to excuse Xu Qian, but also locked him in the room.In order to satisfy Futou, he personally nailed the windows tightly with thick wooden strips.Xu Qian was locked at home every day and could not go out.The uncle promised Fu Tou that during the official's private visit in disguise, he would never let Xu Qian go wrong.Therefore, he personally guarded the door day and night every day. Xu Qi'an tried to escape many times, but to no avail.After thinking hard, he finally realized that he still had to please Futou.As long as you are gregarious and make your boss happy, everyone's life will be easier.
The next time Fu Tou came to visit Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an knelt down and hugged Fu Tou's thigh diligently, repenting for his previous unbearable behavior.In order to help him quickly integrate into society, Futou began to take him to and from fireworks venues, and invited him to Goulan many times to listen to music.Xu Qi'an knew what the other party was thinking. Since he wanted to be free, he still had to live the present moment well.He tried his best to please everyone, and finally joined everyone in drinking, dancing, and colluding with each other.Fu Tou was very satisfied with his performance and gradually began to give him freedom and let him come out of the confinement room.
One day, Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qianla mentioned at home that Xu Qian was old enough to get married and that she would try to help him find a good family.Xu Qi'an wondered that his uncle never played the emotional card on weekdays, but later he found out that Xu Pingzhi had been socializing too much recently and had not enough private money, so he wanted Xu Qi'an to help fund some.
When Xu Qian took his two younger sisters out for shopping, the younger sister was accidentally molested by the son of the Minister of Household Affairs.Of course Xu Qian didn't want his sister to be wronged, and directly pushed the second-generation official away.As a result, he got into trouble.The second-generation official was so arrogant that he ordered his men to cut off Xu Qian's hand tendons and hamstrings.Xu Qi'an said all his good things, but the other party showed his dagger.The younger sister hurried to the government for help.Fortunately, Xu Qian was also a policeman in the Yamen, so he took the lead to rescue people.He was originally trying to catch the flower-picking thief, but when he saw that he was the son of the Minister of Tobe, he suddenly felt as if he was deflated.There were people watching all around, so Futou had to ask his men to take the troublemakers back to the Yamen.
Zhou Li, the son of the Minister of Household Affairs, has gone out to ask for help, while Xu Qi'an is in prison, feeling that the odds are against him.He hurriedly bribed the guard Futou around him and asked him to go to Sitian Prison to ask Miss Caiwei for help.He claimed that he was facing a life-and-death crisis, and if he could pass this book on to Caiwei, she would definitely help and give him generous rewards.
Under the temptation of money, Fu Tou quickly went to Si Tianjian.Holding a book in his hand, he asked to meet Caiwei.The book was handed over to the guard on duty and finally delivered to Song Qing.Song Qing is a person who is obsessed with experiments. He has failed countless times and his face was injured by explosions.However, when he saw this booklet full of chemical knowledge, he was immediately attracted.But when he read the most critical part, he found that the content suddenly interrupted.After asking the person who sent the letter, Song Qing finally understood Xu Qi'an's intention.
At the same time, Xu Qian's uncle Xu Pingzhi learned that his nephew was imprisoned and immediately stepped forward to try to stop the escort team.But there was a huge disparity in power, and he was soon thrown into prison.On the way there, he asked his wife to go to Yunlu Academy to look for his son Xu Xinnian.At this time, Xu New Year has become a disciple of two great Confucian scholars, who may be able to help them.
After Xu New Year received the urgent letter from his mother, he immediately reported it to the teacher.After the teacher learned that it was the talented poet who was imprisoned, he immediately went to Shangshu Mansion for help.At the same time, Song Qing and the two great scholars also arrived at Shangshu Mansion almost at the same time.These are all important officials of the imperial court, so the Lord Minister naturally does not dare to neglect them.After hearing the name of the person they wanted to save, Master Shangshu immediately asked his men for details.It turned out that Xu Qian was imprisoned unjustly. Under the questioning of Master Shangshu, the officials handling the case had to tell the truth about the entire incident.In the end, Xu Qian was acquitted and gave Zhou Li a lesson before leaving.
That night everyone gathered together to share family happiness.In the evening, Caiwei came to visit Xu Qian.She brought new clues about the tax bank case: the subcontractors were Zheng Xinhe and Lu Weizhi, and their backer was Zhou Xianping, the minister of household affairs.Xu Qian was imprisoned this time because he discovered that the tax bank had been diverted and offended the Zhou family.Now the Xu family is closely connected with the tax bank case, while Zhou Xianping is in the dark.If you want to get out of this predicament, you must completely defeat this old fox.Caiwei asked Xu Qi'an what countermeasures he had.Although the evidence has been obtained, Zhou Xianping has many party members, and rash actions may cause instability in the DPRK.Therefore, the emperor asked Caiwei to find a way to catch the culprit as soon as possible.Xu Qi'an believed that they could not go head-to-head. It was during the investigation period in Beijing, and Zhou Xianping was in urgent need of funds to fill the shortfall.So they want to find Zhou Xianping's flaws and light the fuse to let the truth about the tax bank case come to light.
Xu Qi'an arranged for his uncle and Xu New Year to investigate Zhou Xianping's weaknesses, while he went to Si Tianjian to assist Song Qing in completing the experiment.With the wisdom of modern people, he successfully assisted Song Qing in completing the experiment and received Si Tianjian's precious sword as a thank you.
Xu Qian held the sword in his hand, thanked Song Qing and set off on his way home.However, his heart was full of doubts, and he didn't understand why Jian Zheng gave him this sword.Just now he emphasized the pricelessness of alchemy, but in the blink of an eye he easily accepted the teacher's gift. This made him feel a little tacky, and he even had a little disdain for the teacher's words and deeds.At this moment, the sword in his hand seemed to understand his words and suddenly flew towards him. He was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy and apologized, and finally escaped with his life.
At this moment, two aura figures came towards them, making Xu Qian involuntarily step back and give way.He took a closer look and saw that it was Wei Yuan, the leader of the watchers, and Nangong Qianrou, the female watcher.These two were his big bosses in the capital, and they left a deep impression on him.
On the other side, the eldest princess Huaiqing accidentally heard an ancient poem sung by Yunlu Academy: "Mo Chou has no friends in the future, and no one in the world knows you", and thought this poem was very wonderful.So she specifically asked Zhao Shou, the dean of the academy, who was the author of this poem.Zhao Shou told the truth, saying that the author was a martial artist, which surprised Princess Huaiqing.
On the road leading to Yunlu Academy, Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year were riding on horseback.After learning that she had offended Zhou Xianping, Xu Qian was filled with worry.For the future of the Xu family and the safety of his two underage sisters, he urgently hoped that the teachers at Yunlu Academy would accept them to study.
Zhang Shen and Li Mubai, two great scholars from Yunlu Academy, always loved talents as much as their lives, and warmly welcomed Xu Qian's arrival.When Xu Qi'an explained his intention, the two scholars deliberately said that the matter was quite difficult to handle.However, they are currently writing a collection of poems - "Encouragement to Study". If Xu Qi'an can contribute, they will do their best to help his sister come to the academy to study.Xu Qi'an heard that twenty poems were needed. Although he was troubled, for the safety of his sister, he still racked his brains to complete it.However, he only remembered the first half of the poem, so he gave the twenty incomplete poems to Li Mubai.Li Mubai was a little disappointed when he saw the incomplete poem.But Xu Qian also deliberately revealed that when he comes back from work, he will not disappoint the teacher.Hearing this, Li Mubai turned from anger to joy, and hurriedly bid farewell to Xu Qian, and told him to come back as soon as he was done.
When Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year returned home, they found that they were being followed.Therefore, they asked Xu Pingzhi to be more vigilant in the future.Xu Pingzhi was a martial artist after all, so he immediately ordered his men to take greater precautions.
In the evening, Xu New Year, Xu Qi'an and their uncle Xu Pingzhi got together and checked all the clues they had obtained in the past few days.According to the clues provided by Xu Pingzhi, Zhou Li likes to go to foreign houses and goulan places on weekdays. Recently, he has been particularly fascinated by the oiran girl Fuxiang from Jiaofangsi.Xu Qian felt that Fuxiang girl must know some secrets, so she decided to approach her.However, as a scholar at Yunlu Academy, Xu New Year was obviously not suitable to go to that kind of place.Therefore, this task has to be completed by the young detective Xu Qian.
In order to get close to Miss Fuxiang, Xu Qian specially dressed up and came to Jiaofangsi for the first time.I didn’t expect that there would be a queue here and that you would have to pay a high price to get a seat.Xu Qian, who was short of money, had to go to the streets to find a way.He saw someone winning money by throwing pots, so with his excellent throwing skills, he successfully won a magical small jade mirror.Then, he helped a nobleman throw a pot and hit a string of Bodhi beads, earning 600 taels of silver notes.
After getting the money, Xu Qi'an immediately rushed to Jiaofang Division.Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly met Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian here.Seeing everyone greeting Xu Pingzhi one after another, he knew that his uncle was a regular customer here.
In a corner of Jiaofangsi, three men from the Xu family met unexpectedly.Although the scene was a bit awkward, they quickly adjusted their mentality and sat at the same table together.Their eyes revealed their own thoughts and inferiority complex, but they were also secretly observing each other.At this time, Miss Fuxiang began to assess their poetry skills.Xu Qi'an relied on his excellent memory to quickly think of a poem based on Fuxiang's name: “The sparse shadows are slanting across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlit dusk.”This poem immediately won Fuxiang's favor and gave him the opportunity to be alone with Fuxiang.
During the conversation with Fuxiang, Xu Qian deliberately asked her why she was unwilling to accept the buyout offer from those dignitaries. Wouldn't it be better to become a concubine directly?Fuxiang firmly expressed her disdain for the playboy style of those rich young men.At the same time, she also revealed a secret about Zhou Li to Xu Qian: Zhou Li behaved unruly on weekdays and had a conflict with Zhang Yunying, the concubine of Marquis Weiwu, at last year's Lantern Festival.As a result, the two formed a feud and have been secretly competing with each other.
After learning the news, Xu Qian had a plan in mind.He used the magical prop of the jade mirror in his hand to plan a kidnapping case together with Xu Xinnian and Xu Pingzhi.They successfully kidnapped Zhang Yunying and trapped him in a remote woodshed.Then, Xu Qi'an and Xu New Year deliberately chatted loudly outside the door, claiming that the son of the Minister of Household Affairs wanted to torture Zhang Yunying severely and even cut off his hand tendons and hamstrings.These words were clearly heard by Zhang Yunying in the room, and he mistakenly thought that the person who kidnapped him was someone belonging to the Minister of Tobe.
After Zhang Yunying finally found a chance to escape, he immediately complained to his father, Marquis Weiwu.Marquis Weiwu was already at odds with the Minister of Household Affairs, and this time he finally found an opportunity to fight back.He put on armor and went to the palace, and mobilized all civil and military officials to impeach the minister of household affairs.Zhou Li was implicated and was sent to the Dali Department and the Punishment Department to receive punishment.He thought it was just a misunderstanding that would be resolved quickly, but he didn't expect Xu Qian's methods to be so powerful.
In order to completely destroy the power of the Minister of Household Affairs, Xu Qi'an decided to take another move.He went to Si Tianjian to seek help from his senior brother.Although the senior brother usually stayed away from world affairs, the refining secret book in Xu Qi'an's hand forced him to take action personally.With the help of his senior brother, Zhou Li was controlled by a mysterious spell and had to sign the confession in the case to admit his crime.
Soon after, the imperial court issued a notice announcing that the minister of household affairs had been dismissed from office and sent to the army for his incompetence in taxing money and educating his son. Zhou Li was also sent to the army for kidnapping Zhang Yunying.Xu Qian finally succeeded in uprooting the influence of the Minister of Household Affairs.However, he did not relax his vigilance because he was worried that Minister Tobe still had accomplices.In order not to hurt the Xu family, he decided to leave his hometown and travel around the world.Before leaving, he said goodbye to his brother Xu Xinnian and Si Tianjian's friends respectively, and used his knowledge of chemistry to make another fortune.
On the way away from Si Tianjian, Xu Qi'an unexpectedly met the second princess Lin'an.At a quick glance, he was impressed by Lin'an's beauty and temperament.To him, Lin'an's face was like that of an immortal descended from heaven, and his temperament was even more otherworldly.Lin'an is also passionate about chemical experiments. Although she suffered repeated failures in Si Tianjian this time, she still persisted in pursuing the truth.
The second princess Lin'an went through hardships and even nearly blew up Si Tianjian in the process of refining tax silver, but she enjoyed it.Returning to the palace, she met her mother Chen Guifei with a happy face. However, Chen Guifei had traditional ideas and believed that women should not set foot in the laboratory. She always compared Lin'an with the prince, which made Lin'an feel disappointed.
Just when Lin'an was in a low mood, Xu Qi'an was about to escape, but was unexpectedly intercepted by two watchmen.They were obviously well prepared and took Xu Qian directly into the carriage.Xu Qian was confused, recalling all the experiences of overthrowing Zhou Li, and felt that he had not left any clues.He tried to bribe the watchman next to him with a bank note, but he only got a warning: "Don't say anything you shouldn't say".
Later, Xu Qian was brought to Master Yang, and Nangong Qianrou was also present.It turns out that while the watchman secretly observed Xu Qian's plan, he discovered his potential as a watchman and decided to take him under his wing.Xu Qi'an faced the decision of choosing Master Yang or Nangong Qianrou as his teacher, and Nangong Qianrou even used both soft and hard tactics in order to accept him as her disciple.But Xu Qi'an remembered Yang Yan's kindness and resolutely chose to become Yang Yan's teacher.
The road to becoming a watchman is not smooth. Xu Qian needs to pass the dual test of intelligence and conscience.He didn't care about the exam questions and easily answered the first question correctly within three breaths.However, on subsequent floors, he was warned for not kneeling in time.It was not until the fourth floor that he knelt down in a hurry, but the mirror still showed him standing, which made him doubtful.
Wei Yuan was very concerned about Xu Qian's assessment.He secretly admired Xu Qi'an when he heard that he only took three breaths to answer the question and knelt down on the fourth floor.He believes that Xu Qi'an is resourceful and fearless, and is a talent that can be built.
When Xu Qi'an reached the sixth floor, he was faced with the interpretation of a poem by Wei Yuan.Although Xu Qian was not interested in power, in order to become a watcher, he carefully figured out the question maker's thoughts and wrote superb answers, and finally obtained a high score of %A and above.
Nangong Qianrou admired Xu Qianrou's talent and even wanted to exchange two Yinluo for Xu Qianrou to become his apprentice.But Yang Xian is determined to win Xu Qi'an, and of course he will not let go easily.When he learned that Xu Qian had gone to the marrow washing pool, he personally invited his brother-in-law Li Yuchun to give Xu Qian some advice.
However, Li Yuchun did not like Xu Qian at first.But because of face, he had to go with Yang Xian.Unexpectedly, Xu Qi'an completed the Qi training realm practice that originally took a whole day in less than an hour!
Xu Qi'an finished practicing in the marrow washing pool, and the water splashed when he jumped out of the water happened to fall on Li Yuchun.Yang Yan quickly introduced to Xu Qian that the Yinluo captain was his future mentor Li Yuchun.Xu Qian groaned inwardly, as it was clear that the first impression she had given her mentor was not a good one.
Huai'an learned that her eldest sister Huaiqing had recommended a jobber, and she herself had just recommended a candidate who was above level B. She wanted to show off in front of her eldest sister, but she didn't expect that the one recommended by her eldest sister was someone who was above level A.Master, this makes Huai'an feel disappointed.
After Xu Qian officially became a watchman, he was so excited that he even went to visit his uncle's house.Uncle Xu New Year was sitting outside the door. When he saw Xu Qian and gave him a gift, he warmly welcomed him home.My uncle and aunt were planning to sell their side house, but it was difficult to do so due to its poor location.When he learned that his uncle was going to sell his old house, Xu Qian asked him bluntly.The uncle and nephew have a harmonious relationship, and there is no estrangement caused by this incident.After his uncle learned that Xu Qian had become a watchman, he tried his best to recommend him.
Xu Qi'an revealed the questions about the watchman's exam to his uncle. Unexpectedly, his uncle didn't even understand the meaning of the questions. It seemed that he had no chance of being a watchman in this life.
Huai'an decided to participate in the poetry gathering held by the queen. The prince was worried that she would be hit because she was too naive, so he brought cakes to persuade her to give up.However, Huai'an was stubborn and unwilling to give up easily. He even moved out of the palace in order to concentrate on preparing for the poetry meeting.
On Xu Qian's first day as a watchman, he dressed up carefully and finally went out with satisfaction.He thought that becoming a watchman would make him majestic and respected, but he didn't expect that on the first day, he would be locked in a room to read files, and even the windows would be nailed shut.This scene reminded him of his previous experience of offending Zhou Li and being hidden.
As night fell, Xu Qi'an was about to go home, but the senior brother who was on duty sent a large number of files to his home and asked him to work from home.Although the watchers were confused about this internally, their boss Li Yuchun had already said hello, so they had nothing to say.
In order to participate in the poetry meeting, Huai'an began to form his own team.She asked her maid to search for talented poets, and finally heard half of a stunning poem in the hook.This poem was originally written by Xu Qian to attract the oiran's fragrance, but unexpectedly it became widely circulated in Goulan.
Monsters have been rampant in Taikang County recently, frequently coming ashore to devour living people.The watchman quickly dispatched after receiving the task. Li Yuchun called Xu Qian from the file and sent him to investigate the case.
In order to assist the watchman, the emperor also sent the warlock Caiwei.Xu Qian and Caiwei had known each other for a long time, and Caiwei invited him to ride a carriage to the scene.
Xu Qian and the watchmen came to the scene and saw that the surroundings were extremely desolate and the earthen kilns were deep.Xu Qian was walking forward with a torch in hand, and suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears that only he could hear.This surprised and confused him.
Deep in the earthen kiln, Xu Qian, Caiwei and others accidentally discovered saltpeter used to make explosives.Then, they encountered a powerful monster.Caiwei relied on her rich experience to recognize the beast at a glance.The charm beast looks ferocious, and its whole body is covered with hard scales.Fortunately, everyone was a silver gong level master, and after some cooperation, they were finally able to control the beast.However, just when they thought they could successfully kill the monster, it suddenly pretended to be dead and escaped while everyone relaxed their vigilance.
Worried that the Charming Beast would move reinforcements, Xu Qi'an and others quickly chased them out.Unexpectedly, the charm beast fell to the ground before it could escape far.Naturally, everyone is very happy to have achieved such results after working together for the first time.Seeing that Xu Qi'an was injured, Caiwei gave him the Injury-Replenishing Qi Pill that she had made with her own hands.Xu Qian also generously distributed the pills to several brothers who were traveling with him.
In the earthen kiln, Xu Qi'an finally found the source of the mysterious voice that spoke to him - a small mirror made of jade.He didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was, so he gave this strange thing to Caiwei for safekeeping.
After everyone brought back the killed charm beast, Wei Gong asked Yang Yan and Li Yuchun for their opinions.When Li Yuchun reported the situation, he added that Xu Qian had specially reminded them that the Meizu were now running rampant in the local kilns, causing great trouble to the people.However, if the village is rashly closed, the livelihood of the people will be cut off.Xu Qian also specially asked Li Yuchun to speak more for the people in front of Duke Wei, hoping to petition the emperor to reduce some exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.Li Yuchun has always been prejudiced against Xu Qian, thinking that he was deliberately showing off.But Wei Gong did not think so. Instead, he felt that Xu Qi'an was far-sighted and caring about the people, and persuaded Li Yuchun to put aside his prejudice against Xu Qi'an.
In order to punish Xu Qi'an for talking too much, Li Yuchun asked him to clean the toilets with his companion Yin Luo.Xu Qi'an felt extremely grateful when he saw that his brothers were suffering along with him.After cleaning, he specially invited the other two brothers to go out and relax.Hearing that they wanted to go to Jiaofangsi to listen to music, Xu Qian generously expressed that he would accompany them there in person.
Ever since Xu Qian left a poem in Jiaofangsi, people in Jiaofangsi have never forgotten the name “Yangling”.The maid next to Miss Fuxiang recognized Xu Qian and immediately reported to her master.For several days, Fuxiang did not receive any guests.On this day, everyone saw Fuxiang dressed up and walking straight towards Xu Qian.After hearing Fuxiang call out Xu Qian's name, everyone looked at him with admiration and gathered around him.
Xu Qi'an always thought that he was a person with outstanding fighting ability, but he didn't expect to receive such courtesy here.He reluctantly stood on the stage of Jiaofangsi and composed an impromptu poem for everyone.He noticed that there was a person behind him who had been staring at him. The person seemed to be the eldest princess's maid.In order to express his gratitude to the eldest princess, Xu Qi'an recited a song - Ailian said - which was regarded as borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha.
However, Xu Qi'an recognized the wrong person. The person in the audience was not the maid of the eldest princess but the maid of the second princess Huai'an.Xu Qi'an originally wanted to take this opportunity to flatter him, but he didn't expect that he was flattering the wrong person.When the maid heard that Xu Qi'an was going to give the poem to the eldest princess Huaiqing, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and turned around and left.When Xu Qian returned home, she was still confused about what she had done wrong.
The second princess Huai'an specially called Xu Qi'an to ask him if he was willing to become her disciple.But Xu Qi'an didn't know that the second princess was sitting behind the screen. He wanted to see the eldest princess's grace, so he deliberately gave up and even looked down on the gold presented by the second princess.This move made Huai'an so angry that he walked out from behind the screen.
Princess Huai'an was eager to recruit talents, but Xu Qi'an kept saying that she would follow Princess Huaiqing to the death, which made Huai'an quite unhappy.She ordered her maid to torture Xu Qian severely, hoping to scare him and see if he would change his mind.Unexpectedly, Xu Qi'an had practiced for a period of time with the watchman and knew all kinds of torture instruments, so he would not be intimidated.After many attempts, Xu Qian still insisted on following the eldest princess to the death.Huai'an had no choice but to ask his maid to let him go.
After Xu Qi'an was released, he felt dissatisfied when he thought that he had been tortured all night and that in the end he didn't even see the eldest princess.He shouted loudly at the door of Princess Huai'an's mansion that he must see the eldest princess before leaving.Finally, he simply sat on the floor, pretending that he would not leave until he saw her.
After Huai'an heard Xu Qi'an's behavior, he found him very interesting.This boy is naughty and fearless, completely different from the people in the palace.So, she decided to fulfill his wish and go out to meet him.When Xu Qi'an saw Huai'an for the first time, her heart beat faster and her eyes straightened.He has never seen such a beautiful woman, and he feels that once he sees her today, he will have no regrets in his life.
Xu Qian immediately knelt down to thank “Elder Princess” for her kindness, and said that she would do her best in the future.However, he did not know that the person in front of him was the second princess Huaian, not the eldest princess Huaiqing.Huai'an was secretly happy after hearing Xu Qi'an's words.In order to win the upcoming poetry competition, she simply made mistakes and pretended to be the eldest princess.
After returning to Dagenfu, Li Yuchun did not let Xu Qian stay indoors to read the files, but ordered him to go on a parade with his colleagues.This so-called parade is actually just playing mahjong.Xu Qian was confused and didn't understand why Li Yuchun treated him so well.He guessed that the eldest princess might be saying hello secretly behind this.
In order to confirm the doubts in his heart, Xu Qi'an went to the “eldest princess” to ask.In order to win over people's hearts, Huai'an deliberately said that this was indeed the case, and he secretly told Wei Yuan to treat him favorably.After hearing this, Xu Qian felt refreshed and believed it to be true. He felt that he had fallen into the lap of the eldest princess and that he was just around the corner to become successful.
After returning to Chunfeng Hall again, Li Yuchun asked Xu Qian where he had gone and why it took so long to come back.He accused Xu Qian of neglecting his duties and even called two silver gongs to punish him.Xu Qian was secretly shocked that her delicate skin and tender flesh could not withstand the torture.But he remembered that he still had the shield of the eldest princess, so he openly contradicted Li Yuchun and pointed out that there were many loopholes in the work code of the watchman.He claimed that he would take out all these loopholes and asked his colleagues to go to his house to get the white paper.
When Li Yuchun saw that the loopholes listed by Xu Qian did exist, he felt like a deflated ball.He showed the “white paper” to Wei Yuan personally.Wei Yuan saw a lot of good suggestions written on it, and also designed an improved uniform for the watchman, and was greatly appreciated.He immediately took these suggestions as his own.
In order to concentrate on providing poems to “Eldest Princess”, Xu Qian proposed to take a few days off.He meditated hard at home and memorized everything he had learned throughout his life.At this time, he not only had to compose poems for the princess, but also had to help his cousin Xu New Year complete the task.Xu Qi'an felt overwhelmed.Uncle Xu Pingzhi heard that Xu Qi'an had cuddled up to the princess tree, and he eagerly hoped that his nephew would introduce him to the eldest princess as an errand.Xu Qian shook his head helplessly when he saw that his uncle was still looking forward to the future so childishly even though he was over fifty.
In order to pretend to be the eldest sister and comment on Xu Qian's poems, Huai'an began to study poems at home to show off her knowledge.She worked hard to learn from her eldest sister's talents, listening skills and style.On this day, Xu Qian went to Si Tianjian and was very surprised.Because the eldest sister was also in Si Tianjian that day, she was worried that it would be bad if she got involved.
In Sitian Prison, Xu Qi'an witnessed Song Qing's in-depth study of the small jade mirror.Although Song Qing didn't know much about the specific function of the mirror, he judged that the mirror was made by Di Zong.When Xu Qian heard that this mirror could recognize its owner and allow people to enter it to find out, his curiosity was completely aroused.
In a private space, Xu Qian decided to try to establish a connection with the mirror.He bit his finger and dripped blood on the mirror.Surprisingly, the cracks in the mirror healed automatically, and Xu Qi'an miraculously entered the world of the mirror.Here, he saw five suspended crystal balls and heard someone talking to him, asking him if he was the person who met the Golden Lotus in Tianyi.
Xu Qi'an was confused. He admitted that he was not a member of the Tianyi Society.The other party told him that Jin Lian of the Tiandi Society gave the small mirror to others to avoid being chased, with the intention of diverting trouble to the east.Then, the other party asked Xu Qian to return the mirror to them.When Xu Qi'an heard that owning this mirror would bring disaster, he was naturally willing to hand it back.But he was not stupid. He took the opportunity to blackmail the other party for 800 taels, and lied that he had bought it for 500 taels of gold.The other party readily agreed and agreed on a transaction location.
When he heard that the transaction location was Guiyue Tower, Xu Qian secretly rejoiced.However, in addition to the Nine Ball talking to him, there is another sphere that is also communicating with him.This sphere warned Xu Qi'an not to listen to No. 9, saying that No. 9 was a vicious person who was good at deception and adding insult to injury.In order to save your life, it is best to give the mirror to Tianyihui.
Xu Qian was in a dilemma.He knew that the small jade mirror was indeed poisonous, but he didn't know who to believe.Finally, he decided to give the mirror to Yang Yan.As soon as Yang Yan heard that it was from the Earth Sect, he immediately took Xu Qi'an to see Wei Yuan.
In front of Wei Yuan, Xu Qi'an told the whole story in detail.He proposed to confiscate the treasure to Chunfeng Hall, but Wei Yuan had already understood his thoughts and smiled.The gong on the side reminded Xu Qi'an not to speak nonsense. Xu Qi'an immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly knelt down and confessed that he wanted to find foreign aid because he was afraid of death.Wei Yuan was satisfied with his frankness and ordered Yang Yan to explore Tianguang.
While waiting for news from Yang Yan, Xu Qian carefully observed that Wei Yuan liked drinking tea.So, he carefully built a tea table and gave it to Wei Yuan.This tea table is not only made of expensive materials, but also has ingenious mechanisms that can automatically refill tea, hide and release tea cans and gourmet pastries.Wei Yuan was very satisfied with this gift.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao of Chunfeng Hall usually take good care of Xu Qian.Xu Qian asked them to help carry the tea table to Wei Yuan.These two people usually play small roles and have never had the opportunity to meet Wei Yuan.Now with the help of Xu Qi'an, they finally witnessed their boss's grace and admired Xu Qi'an even more.
However, Li Yuchun was dissatisfied when he saw them coming out from Wei Yuan.Nangong Qianrou also said bad things about Xu Qian in front of Li Yuchun, making Li Yuchun even more dissatisfied with Xu Qian.
Yang Yan successfully defeated the Zilian of Di Zong.But late at night, Taoist Master Jin Lian appeared.He was the one who gave Xu Qian the small jade mirror.Taoist Priest Jin Lian directly killed Di Zong Zi Lian, and came to Xu Qi'an's sleeping place to win him over to join the Tianyi Society.Xu Qian heard that many members of the Tiandi Club had peerless martial arts and strong connections. In order to seek a better social circle, he readily agreed to join the Tiandi Club and became member No. 3.
Xu Qian sneaked into the small team under a pseudonym, quickly found out the details of the members, and made a detailed report to Wei Yuan.Wei Yuan was surprised to find that he was familiar with several of the names mentioned, but Tiandihui actually did not shy away from Xu Qian's identity and allowed him to spy on information in the group.This made Wei Yuan couldn't help but wonder whether Tiandi Hui also intended to win them over.
In order to commend Xu Qi'an, Wei Yuan allowed him to select a sword manual.He specifically reminded Xu Qi'an to choose simple and practical moves and abandon fancy and unrealistic moves.Xu Qi'an kept it in mind, and finally chose a martial arts secret book called “一刀剑书”.Li Yuchun disagreed with this, thinking that "%" on the title page only requires one cut, and if a second cut is needed, "Thirty-Six Stratagems" is too negative, and running away would be disrespectful.But Xu Qian believes that saving life is the most important thing.
Xu Qi'an has been having good luck recently. He just received a reward and a new Kung Fu record.He guessed that this might be Lin'an's work, so he went to inquire.Lin'an took all the credit on herself, making Xu Qi'an believe in her and vow to follow her to the death.Lin'an had mixed feelings in his heart. He wanted to tell Xu Qi'an the truth, but was also worried that he would leave and lose a general.
Soon, the watchman received an early warning that Uncle Pingyuan was killed in the city and the suspect was nearby.Xu Qian and his colleagues quickly attacked, but unexpectedly discovered that the suspect was Tiandihui No. 6 Hengyuan.Hengyuan confessed that he killed Ping Yuanbo to expose his crimes of human trafficking.Xu Qi'an asked Hengyuan's motives in the group, planning to help him if he was kind, and to arrest him immediately if he was vicious.
After learning Hengyuan's location, Xu Qi'an quietly handed Xu New Year's college clothes to him, hiding his mark.Later, he was discovered by Jin Luo's men, but he successfully retrieved it with the help of Wei Yuan's name.Xu Qi'an learned from the Tiandi Meeting that Wei Yuan was responsible for the Ping Yuanbo case. After struggling in his heart all night, he finally confessed to Wei Yuan.Wei Yuan was angry at first, but after hearing the evidence of Uncle Ping Yuan's crime, his anger gradually subsided. He forgave Xu Qian and allowed him to continue to lurk in the Tiandihui to investigate.
That night, No. 6 reported to the group that he was safe, and everyone was curious about how Xu Qi'an avoided being chased.As soon as Hengyuan opened his mouth, Xu Qi'an exaggerated, saying that he had put on Hengyuan's clothes to lure away the watchman, and was still being hunted.This move made everyone look at the little brother No. 3 with even more admiration.
Xu Qi'an was loyal to the eldest princess, which made Lin'an extremely unwilling.In order to damage the eldest princess's image in Xu Qian's heart, Lin'an asked the maid to find a few people to pretend to pass by Xu Qian unintentionally and spread rumors about the eldest princess's poor conduct and questionable medical skills and character.
Lin'an secretly rejoiced in the room, thinking that Xu Qi'an would be extremely disappointed with the eldest princess after hearing these rumors.By then, if she reveals her identity, she might be able to win Xu Qian over.However, only a moment later, his subordinates came to report that Xu Qi'an had escorted the rumormongers.Lin'an was shocked when he saw these people. He didn't expect Xu Qian to see through their lies so quickly.Fortunately, Xu Qi'an didn't know that the person in front of him was Lin'an. He just said that he had the exact information that the second princess intended to recruit him, but he was absolutely loyal to the eldest princess and would not serve the second master for the rest of his life.Hearing Xu Qian's nagging, Lin'an was extremely annoyed and quickly sent him away.
Jiang Jinluo was deeply impressed by Xu Qian's incident last time because of Ping Yuanbo's incident, and insisted that Chunfeng Hall release him.He also found out that Xu Qi'an was familiar with Si Tianjian's people, so Jiang Lvzhong thought of taking advantage of this relationship and asked Si Tianjian for more magical weapons so that they could be used when handling cases in the future.However, when Jiang Lvzhong sent someone to Chunfeng Hall to take the people, they were directly rejected by Li Yuchun.Although Li Yuchun usually disliked Xu Qi'an, when he saw so many people competing for Xu Qi'an, he realized that this was indeed a rare piece of material.
When Jiang Luzhong heard that Li Yuchun refused to let him go, he was so angry that he went to Chunfeng Hall in person.When Yang Yan heard that someone wanted to poach him, he naturally refused to give in.Later, the two golden gongs actually fought in front of everyone, and the scene was spectacular.The Tongluo people present had never seen Jinluo's kung fu, not to mention that the top masters were now fighting against each other. Everyone was watching in thrilling fashion, even Li Yuchun was stunned.
Xu Qian was eating watermelon and was quite curious when he heard that everyone was running to watch the battle.He came to the scene and found that Yang Yan and Jiang Lvzhong were really masters, and they were evenly matched.Xu Qi'an couldn't help but ask about the reason behind Jin Luo's competition. He couldn't help but feel a little elated when he learned that it was to compete for a talent with top-level qualifications, that is, to steal him, a pillar of talent.
Not long after, Wei Yuan sent someone to call Xu Qian and asked him about his choice.Xu Qi'an had thoroughly analyzed the situation on the way, and he felt that it was best to let Wei Yuan make the choice for him, so that neither party would be offended.In order to show his original intention, Xu Qi'an also presented a poem he wrote when he first took the exam.
In Xu Qian's view, he can learn a lot whether he works under Yang Yan or Jiang Lvzhong.So after returning to Chunfeng Hall, everyone gathered around him, wondering what choice he would make in front of Wei Yuan.Xu Qian proudly told everyone about his eloquence and strategies, and everyone was amazed by his emotional intelligence and IQ.
After a while, Li Yuchun summoned Xu Qian to the office.Xu Qianan thought that this might be a sign of his transfer, so he deliberately showed his deep reluctance towards Chunfeng Hall and cherished it as his own home.Li Yuchun was greatly moved by his affectionate performance.While Xu Qi'an performed the reluctance with all his strength, he secretly speculated on the content of the transfer order.However, the moment Li Yuchun showed the transfer order, Xu Qian's smile froze instantly.He was assigned to Li Yuchun's command, and the transfer order clearly stated that he could not be transferred within three years.It seemed that Xu Qi'an was destined to spend the past three years here.
Jiang Lvzhong was puzzled by Wei Yuan's decision.Wei Yuan said frankly that Xu Qian was a person who did whatever he wanted and did not follow rules. Although his mind was flexible, it was difficult to discipline.Li Yuchun is completely different. He is rigid and dogmatic, meticulous in his work, and always adheres to the rules and bottom line.Under Li Yuchun's guidance, some of Xu Qian's shortcomings may be corrected.
深夜时分,许七安被枕头边闪烁的玉石小镜惊醒,六号恒远在群聊中发布了一则紧急消息:他之前救助的众多孤儿被安置在安济馆,却不料昨日该处被朝廷人员意外发现。恒远原本满心忧虑,急忙赶往现场,却发现官府人员正在清扫安济馆,似乎对恒远并无恶意。
恒远心中疑惑,朝廷为何会知晓这些孤儿的存在,且态度温和。他在群聊中询问,许七安表示自己并不知情。然而,放下小镜后,许七安回想起他曾将恒远的消息告知魏公魏渊,魏渊让他别再过问。他推测,可能是魏公暗中出手相助。
近日,打更人接到线报,大黄山出现妖兽踪迹,李玉春带领许七安等人迅速前往调查。在办案间隙,许七安从李玉春口中得知了魏渊的更多事迹。魏渊不仅才智过人,心思细腻,且品德高尚,武功高强,曾以一己之力抵御百万大军,立下赫赫战功。然而,自从组建打更人后,他便自废武功,深藏功与名。
许七安抵达大黄山后,偶遇使用望气术办案的褚采薇。褚采薇试图通过望气术判断现场人员是否说谎,但一无所获。许七安仔细研究卷宗,发现受害人刘汉死状离奇,端坐于书房椅上,死因迅速且不明。
经过多方调查,仍无线索。褚采薇因连续使用望气术而疲惫不堪,许七安则协助她对周赤雄进行询问。周赤雄坚称当晚值守时未见刺客,且书房内无打斗痕迹。这一连串的谜团令人费解。
许七安与同事巡查附近时,发现了桑泊湖,并得知了关于开国皇帝与镇国神剑的传说。临安公主担心许七安撞见长公主,特意吩咐侍卫阻止打更人靠近。然而,许七安在桑泊湖畔却感到心神不宁,仿佛听到呼救声。声音愈发清晰,但同事却无所察觉。许七安头痛欲裂,努力保持清醒,观察四周异常情况。
祭祀大典上,正当众人虔诚祭拜时,桑泊湖湖水翻腾,大殿内镇国剑破顶而出,万箭齐发,场面一片混乱。魏渊在危急关头提醒手下保护皇后。皇后小雪与魏渊曾有过一段情愫,但因家族阻挠而未能走到一起。
许七安在关键时刻挺身而出,救下临安公主免受利箭伤害。危机过后,镇国剑重归原位,元景帝独自进入大殿加固封印,并嘲讽魏渊即便身为一品宰相也无法改变命运。
许七安在群聊中打听桑泊湖的秘密,众人纷纷八卦但真假难辨。临安公主则在殿内苦思对策,担心许七安已识破她的身份。贴心的婢女献策将许七安招为面首以稳住他。
Xu Qi'an rarely took a vacation at home. In order to show his value, he cooked delicious meals for his family and asked if he needed help with any housework.
At this time, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao had a new mission, so they invited Xu Qi'an to search their homes together, and told him that they could collect some valuable items along the way.Xu Qi'an readily agreed upon hearing the benefits.
After arriving at their destination, they encountered a provocation from another group.Seeing that they were from Chunfeng Hall, the other party directly beat Zhu Guangxiao.Seeing this, Xu Qi'an wanted to draw his sword, but Song Tingfeng dissuaded him and reminded him not to lose the big for the small.However, the other party did not give up there. Yinluo Zhu Chengzhu attacked Zhu Guangxiao and Xu Qian one after another.Although Xu Qian was angry, he could only endure it due to the identity of the other party.
The house raids finally began, but Zhu Chengzhu obviously deliberately made trouble with Chunfengtang.His men could line their own pockets, but Song Tingfeng and the others were scolded for taking two pearl necklaces and were asked to stay put and wait to clean up the scene.At this moment, a woman's cry and cry for help came from the hall. It was obvious that someone was doing something inappropriate to a woman.
Xu Qi'an couldn't stand it anymore and rushed into the house regardless of everyone's dissuasion and pulled the villain up from the bed.Zhu Chengzhu became angry and humiliated the woman in public and provoked Xu Qian.Xu Qi'an couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled out his sword and used it according to the martial arts secrets in the book. With one strike, Zhu Chengzhu fell ten meters away, and the silver mirror on his body was also split into two halves.
Zhu Chengzhu fell to the ground and vomited blood. Everyone was so frightened that they surrounded Xu Qian.Xu Qi'an himself did not expect the power of this knife, and knew that he had caused a big disaster.Zhu Guangxiao reminded him to run quickly, but Xu Qian was worried that his family and colleagues would be harmed if he ran away.
Zhu Chengzhu had a father named Jinluo. When his father learned that his son had been injured, he angrily went to Xu Qian for revenge.Fortunately, Song Tingfeng found Li Yuchun and Yang Yan in time.When Zhu Chengzhu's father wanted to kill Xu Qian, Yang Yan arrived, stopped him, and took Xu Qian to see Wei Gong Wei Yuan.
Li Yuchun found witnesses and worked hard to find evidence for Xu Qian.But Zhu Jinluo is still aggressive.Wei Yuan was in a dilemma, but in the end he judged that Zhu Chengzhu should be dismissed for his lack of discipline, while Xu Qi'an should be cut in half for the lower offenses.
Xu Qian's eyes turned red when he heard the result.He couldn't understand why he took action for justice, but received such a severe punishment.He asked Wei Yuan if he still remembered his original intention of serving the people and the public, but Wei Yuan did not answer.Xu Qian was taken to prison, and his colleagues pleaded for mercy for him.
Not only the people from Chunfeng Hall, but even the aunt who had always looked down on Xu Qi'an also groveled to Wang Xiuhe, the wife of the minister, to plead for mercy in order to save him, and even gave him her dowry - a priceless jade bracelet.
Time was running out, so all the Jin Luo people, except Zhu, went to Wei Yuan to plead for mercy.Li Yuchun even came downstairs holding work clothes and wearing plain clothes and called Wei Yuan's name, hoping that he would enforce the law impartially and save Xu Qian.
Li Yuchun stood in front of Wei Yuan and bluntly pointed out that it is difficult to correct people if they have an improper background.He recalled all the forbearance he had endured before, and now he felt indignant when he saw his apprentice Xu Qian suffered an unfair sentence for the sake of justice.Therefore, he decided to resign and was willing to bear all the consequences.After saying that, Li Yuchun resolutely put down the clothes in his hands, turned around and left.Wei Yuan stood upstairs, silently watching Li Yuchun's leaving figure, feeling deeply relieved in his heart.He knew very well that Li Yuchun was a decent and upright person. Because of this, he felt safe to leave Xu Qian to his training.
At the same time, Xu Qi'an's brother Xu Xinnian learned about the accident in his family and hurried back to the prison to visit Xu Qi'an.However, he found that Xu Qian was fast asleep, immersed in the illusion and practicing martial arts.After Xu New Year awakened Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an asked him to get the small jade mirror from the jailer and go to the east of the city to find a mysterious monk. Tell him what happened to him, maybe he can get a glimmer of hope.
On the other side, Xu New Year took the invitation letter and went to the palace to ask for an audience with the eldest princess.After telling the truth about Xu Qi'an's experience, the eldest princess decided to plead with the emperor.At this time, something happened in Yongzhen Mountain and Temple, and five guards died unfortunately.After inspecting the scene, Wei Yuan felt that the case was very complicated.When he met the eldest princess at this time, he hoped that she would ask the emperor to give him more time to investigate the case.
When the eldest princess met her father and empress, she originally wanted to use this matter to rescue Xu Qian.But Lin'an suddenly intervened and handed the case to the prince.The eldest princess dealt with all this calmly, and deliberately spread the news to Lin'an after leaving the palace.After Lin'an learned that Xu Qian was about to be cut in half, he hurriedly ran to his father to plead for mercy.In order to get his father to agree to release Xu Qi'an, Lin'an even came up with the ridiculous idea of calling Xu Qi'an as his face leader.The emperor was horrified after hearing this, and quickly summoned the imperial concubine to ask about the meaning of the face.Finally, at Lin'an's plea, the emperor agreed to temporarily release Xu Qian and let him make up for his mistakes.
Outside the Haoqi Tower, Xu Qi'an's uncle Xu Pingzhi was ready to break into prison and rescue his nephew.He stood at the door for a whole day, but all the good brothers who were originally hosting the banquet fled.In desperation, Xu Pingzhi had to decide to act alone.In order to prevent himself from running away, he tied the knife tightly with a cloth on his hand.However, just as he was about to take action, a decree came from the palace to temporarily release Xu Qi'an.At the same time, Wei Yuan also asked Yang Yan to notify Li Yuchun to come back to continue investigating the case and reinstate the officer.
Xu Qi'an had already wasted some time in prison when he heard his colleagues describe the case of Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.When uncle Xu Pingzhi arrived at the entrance of Chunfeng Hall, he was caught and beaten severely by the patrolling watchmen.He was then escorted to jail.Xu Qian passed by his uncle during the escort and did not recognize him.Instead, he told his colleagues to punish him severely and make him confess the conspiracy behind him.
Finally, Xu Qian returned home to reunite with her relatives.He was deeply moved to see his sister, cousin and aunt worried about him.However, no one knows where his uncle went.Everyone only remembered that he said he was going to buy roast chicken before leaving, but they didn't expect that he would encounter such a change.
When Zhu Jinluo learned that Xu Qian was released from prison again, he angrily went to Wei Yuan to question him.Wei Yuan calmly reminded him that this was the emperor's order, and as a watchman, he must obey it with all his strength.After hearing this, Zhu Jinluo felt unwilling but had nothing to say.
After Xu Qian was released from prison, Wei Yuan immediately appointed him as the chief prosecutor of the case, responsible for leading Chunfeng Hall and Zhenxie Hall to investigate the case.When Xu Qi'an was reviewing the files, he was keenly aware that there might be some kind of seal suppressed under Sangbo.He asked Wei Yuan a question, but Wei Yuan reminded him that the emperor only asked him to investigate the murderer who blew up the mountain and the temple, and there was no need to worry about other things.
The three teams of Jinjuntang, Chunfengtang and Zhenxietang quickly assembled, and Xu Qi'an assigned investigation tasks to each team in an orderly manner.He came to Sangbo in person and found that the lake was calm and calm.Recalling the sounds he heard from the bottom of the lake before, Xu Qian jumped into the lake without hesitation and carefully observed the situation at the bottom of the river.He found three stone piles and many iron chains at the bottom of the river, as well as a huge inscription in the center, which was obviously some kind of formation.Xu Qian jumped out of the water and described the words he saw on the inscription to Li Yuchun in detail.After hearing this, Li Yuchun's expression changed suddenly, and he realized that this matter might be related to Si Tianjian.
In the process of searching for clues, Xu Qian discovered that there was a problem in the Criminal Department.He decisively led people to the Criminal Department, but was blocked by the guards.Seeing this, Xu Qian no longer hesitated and directly activated the slashing mode, knocking down all the guards in front of him and breaking into the criminal department.The Minister of Justice was furious, but the father-in-law in the palace happened to be present. He introduced Xu Qian to the ministers. Although he was just a gong, the emperor had appointed him as the presiding judge in the case.
The Ministry of Punishment also found it difficult after receiving the case.The Yongzhen Shanhe Temple was bombed, which required a large amount of gunpowder to be placed at the bottom of the river, and the important raw material for gunpowder was saltpeter.Xu Qi'an thought of the recent Meizu injury case in Dahuang Mountain, and had some concerns in his mind.He asked the Minister of Justice who had the ability to hide so many explosives. The Minister replied that he needed the help of the Minister of Works and the two ministers.But Xu Qi'an keenly alerted the minister that the real suspect might be someone else.
Caiwei and Xu Qian were thinking about who the suspect was on the way back.They thought of the previous cases in Jingzhao Mansion and found that Zhou Chixiong was the most suspect.However, when they took people to find Zhou Chixiong, they found that he had taken leave to go to visit relatives.Xu Qi'an lamented regretfully that the clue he had just found was lost.
Xu Qi'an once witnessed the tragic death of the guards at Yongzhen Shanhe Temple. They were drained of their essence and blood. It was obviously the work of people with extremely strong cultivation and abilities.Li Yuchun lamented that this investigation was much more difficult than imagined.
In the evening, Xu New Year and Xu Qian sat on the roof to discuss countermeasures.Xu New Year felt that the case was difficult to handle, so he might as well take the opportunity to escape.He suggested that Xu Qi'an flee to Yunzhou, because the mountains there were high and the emperor was far away, so no one in the palace could find him.Xu Xinnian's unintentional words reminded Xu Qian that he felt that Zhou Chixiong might have fled to Yunzhou.
At the same time, Xu Pingzhi finally came back.He lost weight twice and his legs were limping.Xu Qian was deeply moved when she learned that he dared to break into the Tiger Hall in order to save herself.When he saw Xu Qi'an standing in front of him intact, Xu Pingzhi was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
Xu Qian took Caiwei and Zhang Shen, the master of Yunlu Academy, to the prison to prepare for another trial of Taikang County Magistrate.However, when they arrived, they found that Magistrate Taikang had died.Zhang Shen was very confident in his Qi-gazing technique, but after casting the spell, there was no movement.
The sudden death of the key suspect, the Taikang County Magistrate, in prison frightened the officials responsible for guarding him.Xu Qi'an did not pursue the matter too much, but immediately ordered Zuo to start an autopsy.
At the same time, Xu Qi'an also invited Miss Caiwei and asked her to use Zhanzhang Qi technique to find out the cause of Taikang County Magistrate's death.As a result, Miss Caiwei discovered that Magistrate Taikang died in his sleep. This discovery made everyone feel very strange.Xu Qi'an asked Wu Zuo if he had ever seen this kind of killing method, and Wu Zuo replied that it was the method of the wizard.
Li Yuchun was no stranger to the witch masters. He knew that these people had killed many soldiers in Yunzhou.There were no injuries on their bodies when they died, and their death was very peaceful, as if they died in their sleep.Li Yuchun felt very strange about this weird killing method.After all, the watchmen are all skilled in martial arts, but these wizards and wizards come and go without a trace, making them elusive.
Xu Qian believes that the most important thing now is to capture Zhou Chixiong as soon as possible.So, he led the team to prepare to go to Yunzhou.However, Yunzhou's terrain is difficult and there are many bandits. If you go there rashly, you may encounter mishaps.So, Xu Qian asked in the Tiandi Club’s group chat if any members were in Yunzhou.Tiandi Society member No. 1 asked No. 2 to help investigate Zhou Chixiong's whereabouts, but No. 2 refused.No. 2 said that he would not help people in the court.
Xu Qian listened clearly and guessed that No. 2 might be from Yunzhou.Since everyone is a member of the Tiandi Society, Number 2 must also have some troubles.Therefore, Xu Qian used the previous agreement with No. 2 to ask her to help investigate Zhou Chixiong.Although No. 2 was hesitant at first, he finally agreed to Xu Qi'an's request.
While waiting for the results of investigation No. 2, Xu Qian also went to Wei Yuan's residence to report the case to him.This time he looked particularly respectful when he entered Wei Yuan's room, stopping three meters away from Wei Yuan to salute.He reported the investigation progress during this period to Wei Yuan in detail.
After listening to the report, Wei Yuan didn't mind that Xu Qi'an reported the case directly to Emperor Jing before.He carefully reminded Xu Qi'an to check Zhou Chixiong's background.After all, how could a seventh-grade official escape smoothly in front of his eyes?Moreover, the watchman has not yet been able to find out his details.Wei Yuan speculated that Zhou Chixiong might have used a magic weapon to hide his breath to escape.And who gave him this magic weapon?This requires further investigation.Therefore, Wei Yuan suggested that Xu Qi'an go to the eldest princess and ask.With that said, he handed Xu Qi'an a dossier about Zhou Chixiong's background.It turned out that Wei Yuan had already found someone to investigate Zhou Chixiong's situation one step ahead.
On the way to send Xu Qian back to the palace, Wei Yuan told him that he had actually been prepared for it.When it was announced that he would be cut in half last time, he had been quietly transferred and kept anonymous to work as a secret agent to continue investigating the case.Xu Qian didn't mind this, he just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible.Wei Yuan saw that Xu Qi'an had regained his confidence and couldn't help but advise him to calm down.Although he is angular and has a distinctive personality, you must know that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.Moreover, there are some bad habits in the imperial court and the team of watchmen that have been around for a long time and cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.
When Xu Qi'an entered the palace for the first time, he found that many palace residents were secretly talking about him.He heard some rumors about himself being the eldest princess.This made him very surprised and angry.He guessed that this might be a rumor specially spread by Princess Lin'an in order to recruit him into her army.So he hurried to the pavilion where the princess was to try to explain.
However, when he came to the pavilion where the princess was, he found that Huaiqing, Lin'an and many princes were holding poetry gatherings.Lin'an was so frightened when he saw him that he immediately asked the maid next to him to take him away.Xu Qian was driven out, filled with doubts and anger.After seeing Lin'an's restless expression, the eldest princess ordered someone to take him back.
Xu Qian finally realized that he had been deceived by Princess Lin'an.He had just expressed his loyalty to Princess Lin'an in public, but it had aroused a lot of jokes and ridicule.Fortunately, the eldest princess did not care about the matter, but asked him about the progress of his recent investigation.
Xu Qi'an stated the clues he collected to the eldest princess one by one. After careful analysis, the eldest princess became deeply suspicious of King Zhenbei and severely reprimanded Xu Qi'an for his bold speculation.Xu Qian was very surprised by this because he had never heard of the name Zhenbei King.However, the eldest princess expressed her appreciation for Xu Qi'an's intelligence and asked him if he was willing to submit to her.
After Xu Qian thought for a moment, he politely declined on the grounds of his close relationship with Lin'an, fearing that this would bring unnecessary trouble to himself.But the eldest princess was not displeased, and Xu Qi'an had no choice but to accept her kindness.Then, the eldest princess took him to the library to check ancient books, and finally discovered the secret of the Bodhi Bead - it can block the art of looking at Qi.Xu Qi'an recalled the scene when he threw a pot for a string of Bodhi beads. The person in the sedan seemed to be a woman, which made him doubt the identity of King Zhenbei.
In addition, the eldest princess also revealed an astonishing secret to Xu Qian: Princess Pingyang fled overnight to avoid the promised marriage, and has not been heard from since.Si Tianjian's Qi-gazing method also failed to find any trace of her, which is probably related to the shielding effect of Bodhi beads.Xu Qi'an realized that in order to solve the mystery of Princess Pingyang's disappearance, she needed to find clues from Lin'an.
However, when he plucked up the courage to see Lin'an, he was met with a cold reception.In order to show his sincerity and determination, Xu Qi'an waited patiently under the scorching sun until he fainted from heatstroke.After Lin'an learned about it, he hurriedly ordered people to carry him into the house for treatment.After Xu Qian woke up, he successfully coaxed Lin'an to laugh with his sharp tongue, and the misunderstanding between the two was resolved.
With the help of Lin'an, Xu Qi'an gradually understood the deep friendship between Princess Pingyang and Qinglongtang Henghui, as well as the choice Princess Pingyang made to avoid the marriage.At the same time, he also learned from Lin'an the worries and expectations of Princess Pingyang's mother.
On the other side, the little dragon in the back garden of the palace suddenly became extremely restless.It even pretended to obey the emperor and dropped him from the sky when he was not prepared.Fortunately, the guards rescued him in time, and the emperor was saved from danger.Xiaolong then searched for the scent in the air, and finally locked on Xu Qian.At a critical moment, Xu Qi'an stepped forward to protect Lin'an from Xiaolong's attack.The emperor and his guards arrived and successfully knocked down Xiaolong.Lin'an took the opportunity to introduce Xu Qian's heroic deeds to the emperor and asked for pardon for his capital crime.However, the emperor only gave Xu Qian a reward and gave him fifteen days to solve the case.
